Former ESPN Draft expert Todd McShay, who now hosts a podcast on the Ringer, is criticizing Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck for entering the 2025 NFL Draft. This may be a huge gamble for Beck.

Beck is entering the draft process after a significant shoulder injury that he suffered in the SEC Championship game against the Texas Longhorns.

“Carson Beck made a bad decision to leave early,” McShay said in a recent episode on his “The McShay Show” podcast. “I texted a bunch of guys in the league, GMS, former GMs, scouts. One Scout wrote back to me, one-word answer – ‘foolish.’ I thought he got better late in the season, as i said, but I don’t think he’s there yet. Played great in certain moments.

“I thought he played better late in the season, but he never, this year, played to the level that many of us expected him to play to. I just don’t know that he’s ready.”

On December 23rd, Beck underwent surgery on his right elbow. This surgery knocked him out of playing for the Bulldogs in their upcoming College Football Playoff game.

Beck suffered a UCL injury against the Longhorns in early December. Despite the surgery, Beck declared for the NFL Draft on December 28th.

The Jacksonville, Florida native was considered a top pick for the 2025 NFL Draft before the college football season. Since then, he has fallen in the draft to possibly a mid-round pick.

The fifth-year senior played in 39 games for the Bulldogs. He has gone 628 of 923 for 7,912 yards. Beck had 58 touchdown passes and 20 interceptions.

This past season, Beck went 290 of 448 for 3,485 yards. He had 28 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions.

“Why wouldn’t you take this time (to) rehab in the off-season, come back with a better supporting cast?” McShay asked. “They’re got a lot of young wide receivers. I know they’ve recruited well at wide receiver, from what I can tell, their offensive line will be better. They’ll be more balanced.”
